this "naked wedding cake" trend. Like, what the hell.  Why would you spend hundreds of dollars on a cake and then leave it unfrosted? WHY. They're so hideous. Also pretty much the whole point of frosting is to stop the cake from drying out. So you're spending thousands of dollars on a wedding and you're making your guests eat an unfinished-looking dry-a** cake. WHY

Also can you really get several hundred dollars for one of these cakes? I may put the kids to work here.

Ugh no those cakes don't look appetizing at all. THEY WOULD BE SO DRY.
Also yeah wedding cakes run about $2-4 per slice. You could easily spend several hundred on the cake, depending on the size of your wedding.

Now you have me thinking about going to some sleazy back alley bar to get a Doberge.

I haven't even heard of this trend.
I honestly like how the bottom one looks, but not the others
My only guess would be that they put a liquid coating all over the cake to keep it from drying out. Like, brush it with some kind of liquid that compliments the cake's flavors.
And on top of that, they probably put enough frosting in the middle to even proportion out the ratio as well

They still look like someone got bored halfway through making the cake, imo

I had a bride want one of those a few days ago.
4 tier, each one a different flavor, buttercream between the layers.
That's it.
I talked her out of it.
She'd be paying the same price as if we iced it.
The cake edged will be SO dry.
It's SO HARD to stack when we can't use buttercream as glue.
And she'd be able to see the plates and pillars we use for stacking.
We use icing to cover the ugly parts.
TLDR; yeah, not cute.

You did the right thing.

I find LOL's working in a bakery oddly appealing.
